Supported Gametypes: Team Slayer (anything else would be too quick)
Recommended Party Size: 1v1 or 2v2

Description: Mercurial is a small 1v1 or 2v2 map designed purely for team slayer, based in the caverns on avalanche. i used the energy blockers to block all the ways out, then placed sender nodes in the 2 smaller caverns with the corresponding receiver nodes at either end of the central cavern. players spawn in the 2 small caverns where there is two spike grenades, they then enter the sender node which teleports them into the main cavern through one of 3 possible teleporters for each team (to prevent camping).
the teleporters are placed around each end of th cavern. inside the main are is two big platforms, a high one and a low one, the high one can simply be jumped to by walking onto a small ledge the red team (because they start at the high end) making this jump also nets you the energy drain (90 sec respawn) which is suspended in front of you as you jump. the blue team have to walk out onto a small raised surface and into a grav lift which propels them along a grav lift chain, which lands them on the high platform.
From the surface at the beginning of the grav-chain you can jump onto one of the 4 "ledges" (upside down ramps floating against the caves wall) from here you can continue to jump up them (crouch jumping required) to get the regenerator (2nd ledge) and the beam rifle (150 sec respawn top ledge) anyway, the high platform is 4 horizontal bridges side-by-side with a few walls and barriers providing cover, you can jump onto the slanted wall to get onto the top of the small structure. on the high platform there is a BR, a mauler, two spike grenades and a teleporter which sends them to the floating tower, this tower is an upside down watchtower base, with two corner walls coming out of it at different levels, the teleporter drops you right in the centre (unless you continue running) and onto the sentinel beam (180 sec respawn) from here you can jump back down onto the high platform, or onto the lower platform, (this can also be reached from the high platform) on this there is 2 crates, two barricades, 2 smg's and a BR, there is alot of cover here and the only way off is to crouch jump back to the high platform.
Also from the high platform, you can make an easy jump onto the regenerator platform, which is exactly what it sounds like, a single horizontal wall with a regenerator ontop of it,
if you go across the main man cannons, you can grab a brute shot mid-flight, and on either of the landing platforms there is a carbine and a BR along with 2 spike grenades. thats basically the layout of the map.

that's pretty much it, this is my first map on the legendary dlc and i hope to make more, please give me feedback and any criticisms you may have.

 

yes i'm pretty sure that neverless and GO43R are already making something in there, and thanks for not thinking that just because it came out so quickly that it is a crap map.

 

thanks, it won't work to amazingly for FFA but i shall update it once i make it a much more viable gametype, but so far 2v2 TS is my fave game on this map

 

hooray! i did something right! it is quite good and i spent about 9-10 hours perfecting it, so, thanks

 

thank you but please don't spam, no one cares about post count here at FH

 

i dunno, not everyone wants the same level floor, and Gordo i might join your dlc forging team if i finish my new map soon, but i'm not sure how i would help, i've never really done serious multiplayer forging before but i'll give it a shot, BTW who else is on the team so far?

 

ok thats sweet, i think i'll join.
